Excerpt
After I gathered my stuff, with sweat pouring from every pore, I turned around and made my way towards the badge-woman. I stopped right in front of her, looked her in the eye, and said, "I would like to know why you put me through that when I was cleared first time through. I have gone through five airport security points with my child in a carrier, and no one ever asked me to remove the carrier. I believe TSA rules are supposed to be uniform."
She snapped back "Move on. I don't have to answer your question."
I tried very hard to remain calm, and responded, "Yes you do. You need to provide me with a response; with an answer..." She took out her hand-held radio and called her supervisor, "We have a big problem here. Someone is disrupting our procedure..."
In less than two minutes two female supervisors clad in suits showed up. The older one with hair glued in the air with two cans of hairspray and make-up two inches thick listened as I repeated my question, then she responded,
"I am afraid we cannot provide you with an answer. We can't share our security criteria with you. They are all classified."
I almost gasped, "Why?"
She responded: "Because to announce our criteria, our rules, would tip off the terrorists."
